To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY S. BELDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ganton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in vVapor-Burners, of which the following isa specitic'atiomreference being had thereinto the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a vapor-burner embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on the li-ne a: m of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4is alongitudi- Fig.`5 is a side elevation of a similar burner, except that it has a modilied form of jet-directing device, and shows also a supplemental or continuing subjet plate. Fig. 6 isa view of the directing device in Fig. 5, detached. VFig. 7 is a perspective of the jet-directing device detached, shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Figs. 8, 9, and 10 are other forms of the jet-directin g device adapted tov be mounted as isthat in the'last said tigures. Fig. 1l is a cross-section, and Fig. 12 a longitudinal section, of a slightly-modified form of a burner. Fig. 13 is'a plan view of the sub-jet continuing-plate. Figflet is a face -view of the stop-plate for the sub-heater, detached.

This invention pertains to improvements in' vapor-burners for the past known as plateburnersthat is, burnersy having a plate which receives the impact'of fthe jet of vapor and spreads and suitably'shapes it to form a proper illuminating-llame.

A The invention relates to devices whereby I can utilize to a greater extent than has heretofore been possible the vheat which is geilerated by the main orifice. I accomplish this by constructing a plate in such a manner that it shall havelone Vor more conduits or passagea-greater degree than is possible with plate- While the mate-V structionof parts which permits a portion ot' the vapor to be carried downward, so that it can be ignitedV under the plate for the purpose ot' generating a more rintense vaporizing-heat than can be obtained from the illuminating-` 1'which the illuminating-jet issues, and that lpart through which the gas or liqruid is introduced into the burner, so that there results a perfect vaporization of the illuminating material.

The invention relates, further, to a peculiar means whereby the jet which issues from the orilice can be regulated so as to throw it up or down relatively to the spreading-plate, or thrown or moved laterally relativelythereto and relatively to the passageV through which `the heatingjet passes.

The invention relates, also, to a device for continuing or extendingthe sub-jet or heating-jet. This device is arranged to protect and extend the length and useful heat of the sub-jet or supplemental heater, and serves to carry it forward to any desired point under the burner. It is made detachable and adjustl able.

. The invention relates, also, to various other matters, which will be fully set forth in detail in the following specific description.

In the drawings I have shown some of the shown in these figures, it is arranged to ex- Y tend laterally from the other parts; but, if preferred, it'inay be arranged perpendicularly thereto, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13.

B B represent the deilecting-plate, in which are formed (either by drilling, coring, or oth-` ICO rrwise) longitudinal passages, such as shown at c and c', and lateral or transvcrsemassages, as at c2, with suitable ducts, as at c3, to permit communication with the jet orifice or orifices. As shown, the lateral or transverse passage czconnects the longitudinal passages' the-duct c3 into the chamber Land from there zov it issues at the jet-critice d. There are thus provided for the illuminating material indirect passages through the metal ot' which the plate is composed, which passages canse the material to follow abroken or interrupted path, whereby a very high volatilization-can be produced. When the jet from oriiice d reaches the upwardly-'turned portion B of the'detlect ing-plate B B' itis thrown upward, and ifignited there will be produced a vertical or upwardly-inclined ame, which will continue as long as the vapor is supplied. The heat from this name is to a great extent transmitted to the passages'throngh which theoil or vapor passes, the amount thus saved by conduction being much greater than can .be utilized by the other plateburners with which I am acquainted. To assist still further in eecting a perfect coinbustioml conduct a portion of the jet of vapor downward to a point below the plate and ignite it, so that ailame-is pro-V duced-in immediate contact with the indirect passages or vaporizing-chambers. E is the d uct through wh1ch this heating-vaporpasses. It is received upon the underside within a chamber, shield, or conductor, F, which carries it back to the point where it is'desired to produce a dame Vagainst or below the `vaporizing-chamber and the main jet-orice.

Instead ot' the partially-inclosed shield shown, use may be made ot' a plate whereby some of the advantages can be secured.

M represents a stop-plate situated in such 'position as to havethe sub-heating-iame strike dish-shaped, so that it can catch any oil thatv the peculiarly constructed jet-directingdeviceV against it, andguide said lia-me, and also conduct the heat from it upward t0 the metallic parts above, especially to the metal in whieh the needle-valve is mounted when such valve is used. `A valve of this character is shown and indicated by O. Upon it the stop-plateM is supported, the stop being brought back to such point`on the valve as to serve to prevent the'valve from being driven in too far.

'N is a plate secured to the-under sideof the burner below the heatingjet chamber or shield F. Preferably it is somewhat hollowed or may overiiow. It serves to extend orcontinne the jet'chamber or shield, and by it the ame can he carried to any desired point. A With the parts of the burnerabove described whichI have shown may be combined. It consists ofv an adjustable piece lying partially in the path of the jet,A or near it, as it escapes from the orifice. The one shown in Figs. 1 and 7 has a dedecting-surface, g, situated so that the jet can be vcaused to impinge upon it and be thrown upward or downward more or less, as occasion may require. A lateral adjustment can be effected by having a metallic guide on the side or sides of the jet and movingit transversely to the path of the jet. Thus in Figs. 8 and 10 a jet-director is shown havng a lateral as well as avertical Vguide,`the

lateral movement in the one shown in Fig; 8 being caused by an indentation,g,and in Fig. 10 by an aperture through the rotating or rocking piece Gr. In Fig. 9 one is shown having a slot-or elongatedaperture, by which thesame results can be accomplished. The one in Figs. 5 and 6 consists ot' a bent or curved piece of wire orvinetal'strip, g2, mounted somewhat loosely iu an ear, D', on the top of part` D. The part h can slide longitudinally -t0 vary vertically the point of impact ot' 'thefjet,and can be rocked or oscillated to throw it in any desired direction laterally.

The jet-orifice dis preferably controlled by a needle-valve, O, ot' any ofthe well-known constructions, though other valves can be etn- /ployed it' desired or a valve may be dispensed with at this point, and a suitable cuto" or regl nlating. mechanism can be combiued'with the,

'supply-pipe'at any preferred point.

- I do not-,in thisfapplication claim any of the matters lset forth in the claims formingpart of Patent No.l 263,840, dated September 5, 1882; nor do Iclaim anything but what is specili- -cally set forth in the following claims, reserving to myself theright to claim other patent- IOO able matters whichl I have herein shown in anotherapplication which I am about to file. I do not limitpmyself to the exact arrangement ot' the indirect .passages which I have shown, as they may be made more numerous or be put in different situations without depar-ting from -the vspirit ofmy inventiouit' a broken or-circuitous path be provided between the point where the-oil enters the burner and the point where it enters the orifice-chamber, or the duct which leads into said chamber. When the lfeed-piperis arranged perpendicularly to' the plane of the plate and otherparts, as shown in Figs.- 12 and 13, I prefer to provide au aperture, Av', therein, which serves as an elongation of the heating-jet chamber F, to carry the heating-jet outward against the stoppiece M. In this case a-comparatively short duct, a, is formed, extending from the supplypipe A to the duct c.

The stop-plate M is preferably circular, as shown in Fig. 14, so that in whatever position the valve-screw maybe there will be a portion of the plate in proximity to the heating-jet.

The jet director or spreader shown in Fig. 12 is'of a form now'well known, it consisting of a piece of wire formetalsecured abovevthe IIO IZO

' jet-orifice and eatendingdownward toward thev capes into the open air, a duct for carrying l so spreading-plate and into the path of the jet.

What I claim is I. In a vapor-burner, a needle-orifice for the escape of vapor under pressure, a platehavl ing the part B across thepath of the jet,`and

thepart B for conducting heat back from the part B, said part B having a passage trans part B across the path of the jetthat escapes from said orifice, and the part B', integral-with the part B, to conduct beat back from theillu. minatingilaine, and having a passage transverse to the jet-path for admitting the vapor and passages transverse to the last aforesaid passageaud communicating therewith, devices which arrest a portion of the vapor after it esthe arrested portionhelow the part B of the Vplate to form a flame to provide a heat supplemental to that .conducted back from .the

illuminating-flame, and the stop M, arranged `to beimpinged upon by said supplemental heating-flame, substantially asset forth.

3. The combination, in a vapor-burner having a needle-orifice, of a deflecting and heating plate having thecurved part B across the y Vpath of the jet that escapes from said orifice,

and the part B'., integral with the part B, to conduct heat back from the illuminating-flame, and having a passage transverseto the jetpath for admitting the vapor, and'passages transverse to the last aforesaid passageand communicating therewith, lthe part D on the concave side ofthe plate having a longitudinal valve-chamber communicating with the indirectpassages insaid curved deflecting and heating plate, substantially as set forth.
